Meanwhile, most of the AO modules (including the only one released, Alan Patrick's "Window to the Past") are set prior to Season 5. Since the purpose of the AO modules is to convince con organizers to invite AL admins to the con to run the mods, it makes sense to leave the decision as to whether or not to impose the Death Curse on players to the author -- heck, Mike Mearls was allowed to give out a cert authorizing playtest material in the AL at his AO, so exempting the Death Curse is a pretty minor boon by comparison.(edit: I forgot that there's even precedent for this -- the D&D Open at Origins last year allowed characters who were 'trapped in Barovia' to participate; thus certain 'special events' can be exempted from campaign rules where it's seen as desirable, even if I don't always think that's a good idea)--Pauper</blockquote>
